I rented a room from her and Bob in the early 70s and later I was the "roadie" for Leila and the Snakes.<br />In the mid 80s I worked for NBC in Burbank and sadly the day I went to work there was the day Jane crashed. The first feed I saw was footage of the helicopter being pulled from the river.<br />Very sad. She was a truly great lady.philcycleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037641086503534960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-27005128274548559042014-03-19T00:48:45.204-07:002014-03-19T00:48:45.204-07:00I still remember her tagline...
